Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am 5,7”, and about 150-155 pounds, and usually wear a size 10, or 12. I got the XL, and it fits well, though maybe a tad loose at waist, though I think the next size down might pinch or muffin top, and this size does not. Also it is VERY form fitting. I think a size down might be too tight for a professional setting, not sure, I need to test and see. They are long, and I HAVE to wear heels with them or they would drag on the ground. The pros: it looks professional, nice pin stripes, nice color, decent material. Not see-through. Real front mini pockets, but top pockets - not side-seam pockets, so they don't bunch out when you sit. Belt loops (that is a real bonus). And they come high, about my waist and just cover my bellybutton. Had I gone a size down I think they would probably rest just under my bellybutton. They seem to hold in my fat tummy a bit, though due to the thinness of the material not as well as other pants like this that I have purchased. The cons: the material is a bit thin. In hot climates this might suit well, but I am in upstate NY and it is super cold in the winter and I had to wear long-johns under in order to wear them to work. So it was good I got the XL and they are a tad bit loose as I need to wear long-johns under. The material is stretchy too, so it was no problem to wear the long-johns under. Also, a con, since the material is thin and clings it shows EVERY detail. Even with long-johns on under you can still see my underwear line!! And they bunch a bit or could easily give camel-toe in the front hooha area. So I think that due to how tight they are, how thin the material is, and how they show such detail, it would not be appropriate to wear them in a professional context without a top or jacket or sweater that covers your ass and hooha I wore a long sweater dress (short one that is too short to wear to a professional zone) and long cardigan with these pants, which cover my ass, and then I think they look super cute and professional. I like them enough that I will get a second pair, but think I might go with a large next time instead of XL, as if I did not have the long-johns under I might find these a bit too loose. I will also buy a long cardigan to wear with the next pair, one that covers my ass! :) I like them, and will buy more, but due to how thin the material is and needing to wear a long top to cover my ass I could only give them 4 stars.
